Samen Kondorura, a resident of North Toraja in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, died of a severe head injury after a heavy coffin carrying his deceased mother fell on the male pallbearers at a funeral on Friday. Samen was among dozens of male relatives who were carrying his mother’s coffin.
Video footage of the incident shows the crowd climbing a bamboo ladder to put the coffin inside the lakkean, when suddenly the ladder broke and the carriers lost control of the coffin.
